AWF joins women groups helping Tohoku fisherwomen

Many thanks to the attendees of AWF’s June 21st event who contributed to our appeal for donations to raise money for pink overalls and jackets for oyster fisherwomen in Oshika Peninsula in Miyagi who are still rebuilding their lives and careers. Thanks to your generosity, AWF will be able to provide three outfits.

This initiative came to us from Caroline Pover, a Tokyo-based entrepreneur. Details on the programme can be found on Caroline’s blog: http://www.carolinepover.info/2012/05/oshika-pink-ladie/

AWF is delighted to join other groups of women in supporting this initiative.
